Sector $2c4 is needed only once; (only) the correct one must be in place. Mychess is the only title which obfuscates the protection code. If the protection fails then it jumps to the (arbitrary?) location $6877, does something (intended or not?) and eventually hits an RTS which brings it back to the normal code...

An interview with one of the true pioneers of the personal computer, one of the primary designers of the Atari 400 & 800, Mr. Joe Decuir. Joe worked closely with Jay Miner, Steve Mayer and others to design a computer in the days when personal computers were just in their infancy. Joe shares with us the thoughts and reasoning that went into the design of the 400 & 800 and thus brings all of us a little closer to being a part of an amazing time in computer history.
